Farmer’s Footprint: A Consumer/Farmer Collaboration for the Healing of our Soil and Children

This talk will provide an overview of the new non-profit organization, Farmer’s Footprint that is working to bring science-based education to the American public through a docu-series that follow farmers through their transition from GMO monocrop farming to regenerative soil practices of no-till organic farming. Farmer’s footprint brings this community-consumer education tool into parallel with farmer education and financial support to foster the rapid transition of our heartland back to growing the food that our nation is most in need. The movement is inspired by recognizing that with very minimal input from the individual consumer, we can create a very powerful economic incentive to transform US agriculture -- finally overcoming the political stalemate that has kept our national Farm Bill in lockstep with the chemical ag lobby – food for the people, by the people.
